Intro

Chord progression is basically 4 beats of c#m, followed by 2 beats each of A then E:

The kids are disco dancing

They're tired of rock and roll

I try to tell them "hey that drum machine ain't got no soul"

But they don't want to listen no

They think they've heard it all

They trade those guitars in for drum machines and disco balls

Ohhhhhhh

We can't rewind now we've gone too far

Ohhhhhhh

Internet killed the video star

The kids are disco dancing

They're tired of rock and roll

Don't bother telling them that drum machine ain't got no soul

The kids are disco dancing

They're tired of rock and roll

Don't bother telling them that drum machine ain't got no soul

You know we never listen we think we've seen it all

Like everything we're doing no one's ever done before

Did you hear what they said?

That rock and roll is dead?

Yeah it's like a zombie it will dig itself back up again

Tune in the signal but it's fading, oh

Some ghost strumming his guitar on the radio

Singing "glory days are gone but everything's ok cause

we still love our sex and drugs just like the good ol' days"

The kids are disco dancing

They're tired of rock and roll

Don't bother telling them that drum machine ain't got no soul

The kids are disco dancing

They're tired of rock and roll

Don't bother telling them that drum machine ain't got no soul

Oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh

Well I'm a horrible dancer I ain't gonna lie

But I'll be damned if that means that I ain't gonna try

Yeah I'm a shitty romancer baby I ain't gonna lie

But I'll be damned if that means that I ain't gonna try

So get up get up get up and dance

Get up get up get up and dance

The kids are disco dancing

They're tired of rock and roll

Don't bother telling them that drum machine ain't got no soul

The kids are disco dancing

They're tired of rock and roll

Don't bother telling them that drum machine ain't got no soul

The kids are disco dancing

They're tired of rock and roll

They're tired of rock and roll

They're tired of rock and roll

Ohhhhhhh

We can't rewind now we've gone too far

Ohhhhhhh

The internet killed the video star

The internet killed the video star

The internet killed the video star
